DIRECT VS. INDIRECT TESTING

DIRECT TESTS
- Perform precisely the skill which is measured
- The tasks and texts should be as authentic as
possible.
- Easier to measure the productive skills
- E.g. To know how students pronounce a language:
get them to speak

ADVANTAGES?
Create the conditions eliciting the behaviour that the judgement
is based on speaking
The assessment and interpretation of social skills performance
is straightforward
Helpful backwash effect
